Saturday Salutes ~ Advice for Tired Moms of Teens and Fun Snow Activities (With or Without the Snow)

Last Saturday, I mentioned that this was Spirit Week at the girls’ school. Here’s my older daughter (on the left) with her friend dressed as Dora and Diego for “Dynamic Duo” day.

Rachel writes hey, tired mom of teens, this is for you. And from where I sit as a mom of teens, let me just say that six weeks into parenting an 18-year-old, 18 is my favorite year of all the teenage ones so far!!

Thank you, Elizabeth!! This senior-year thing is fun, exciting, joy-filled, and sad all at the same time! So much to plan ahead for while still trying to be fully present in the moments that are happening today. I know you understand since you’ve so recently walked this road yourself!

Definitely going to be birthday season at your house soon! Since we did our trip to NYC as the girls’ birthday celebration this year, I didn’t do much of anything here at home. However, I did get them each three birthday balloons from the Dollar Tree and put those in their bedrooms so they’d see them when they woke up on their birthday morning. My younger daughter’s balloons are still in her room, mostly still inflated – and her birthday was December 3rd! I’d say I definitely got my money’s worth out of those 😉
